Definitions

• the present invention relates to components of machines used in plants for producing cellulose webs, in particular in paper-making plants.
• Some embodiments disclosed herein especially refer to cylinders for machines producing cellulose plies or webs, such as paper and tissue paper.
• hollow cylinders are disclosed that are adapted to be pressurized by means of steam or other heat transfer fluid and intended to dry cellulose plies or webs driven around the cylinders.
• cellulose fibers are suspended in water; the obtained suspension is distributed on forming fabrics by means of headboxes so as to form a layer of cellulose pulp.
• the water content in the pulp is decreased by draining systems, until a cellulose fibers layer is formed, the solid content whereof is sufficient to transfer the layer onto one or more drying cylinder that remove further humidity from the cellulose layer by making it evaporate thanks to heat transferred to the cellulose layer from the inside of the cylinder through the cylindrical wall of the cylinder.
• Heat is usually supplied by a heat transfer fluid flowing in the drying cylinder. To this end, the drying cylinder is hollow.
• the heat transfer fluid is usually high-pressure steam.
• High pressure values are used to allow operating temperatures that are high enough to remove efficiently humidity from the cellulose layer until to have the desired residual humidity level before removing the obtained cellulose ply from the drying cylinder.
• drying cylinders shall be so manufactured as to withstand high pressures under dynamic load conditions and high operating temperatures.
• Yankee cylinders which are generally used for the production of paper, especially tissue paper, as well as drying rollers work under particularly heavy operating conditions.
• These machine members are bulky and critical from a safety viewpoint, because of the operating pressures and temperatures and the consequent thermal and mechanical stresses.
• High speed rotation of Yankee cylinders and other drying cylinders used in paper-making machines generate fatigue stresses, which are particularly critical due to the risk of breakage in case of cracks or defects in the metal, of which the cylinders are made.
• drying rollers and Yankee cylinders were mainly made of cast iron. Recently, several systems have been studied for manufacturing drying rollers and Yankee cylinders made of steel. This material is particularly suitable for drying rollers and Yankee cylinders as it allows a better transfer of heat to the cellulose ply driven around the outer surface of the cylinder.
• the steel cylinders are comprised of parts that are welded together, typically a cylindrical shell with two axial ends, to which respective end walls are welded, these walls carrying the pins for supporting and rotating the cylinder.
• AT-11146U1 discloses a steel Yankee cylinder including a cylindrical shell, the axial ends whereof form respective annular projections facing towards the axis of the cylindrical shell.
• a respective end wall is connected.
• the perimeter edge of each end wall and the radially inward edge of the respective annular projection are machined so as to connect the end wall and the annular projection by means of an inner welding bead and an outer welding bead.
• the maximum diameter of each end wall is equal to or smaller than the inner minimum diameter of the respective annular projection of the axial end of the cylindrical shell.
• the end wall can be positioned with its respective peripheral edge aligned with the annular projection of the axial end of the cylindrical shell and the two members can be welded to one another by the inner and outer welding beads.
• Mechanical stresses in axial direction generated on each end wall by the steam pressure inside the Yankee cylinder are entirely supported by the welding beads, which represent critical points from the viewpoint of the mechanical resistance of the Yankee cylinder.
• the welds joining together the end walls and the cylindrical shell in Yankee cylinders and drying rollers for paper-making machines shall meet very high quality and safety standards, as these cylinders are in practice pressure tanks.
• the welds shall withstand the stresses generated by pressure, the weight of the cylinder and the thermal expansion.
• the cylinders made of cast iron also require that the end walls and the cylindrical shell are joined together through screw couplings. These couplings greatly affect the cylinder production costs, as they require a lot of boring and threading processing, as well as long assembly times.
• a cylinder of a paper-making machine comprising a cylindrical shell that defines an axis of the cylinder and has opposite axial ends, to which two end walls are fastened, closing the hollow inner space of the cylinder.
• Respective pins for supporting and rotating the cylinder may be attached to the two end walls.
• At least one of the axial ends of the cylindrical shell comprises an annular inner projection that extends radially towards the cylinder axis and has a minimum diameter that is smaller than the maximum diameter of the respective end wall.
• the end wall is so mounted that a portion of the end wall having the maximum diameter is arranged in an axially inboard position with respect to a portion of the annular inner projection having the minimum diameter.
• the same mounting criterion is applied to both the end walls of the cylinder, using radial projections inside the two axial ends of the cylindrical shell.
• the invention provides for a cylinder with an outer cylindrical shell and two opposite end walls, wherein at least one axial end, and preferably both axial ends, of the shell define an annular projection forming an undercut, against which the respective end wall is fastened from the inside.
• the end walls have a maximum diameter that is greater than the minimum inner diameter of the respective projection.
• the undercut may be formed by providing an end wall having two portions of different diameter, and preferably of cylindrical shape, put over each other along the axis of the cylinder. The portion of greater diameter is arranged inside a portion of smaller diameter of the annular projection.
• the undercut is formed by providing an annular projection having a radially inner surface of truncated- conical shape and a corresponding end wall having a truncated-conical perimeter surface, whose shape is substantially identical to that of the truncated-conical inner surface of the annular projection.
• the two truncated-conical surfaces are oriented such that the larger base faces the inside of the cylinder whilst the smaller base faces the outside of the cylinder.
• the projection and/or the end wall have at least a notch or a flattened part or a recess, allowing the end wall to be inserted beyond the annular proj ection.
• a method for manufacturing a cylinder for paper-making machines comprising the following steps: providing a cylindrical shell defining an axis of the cylinder and having a first axial end and a second axial end; wherein the first axial end comprises an annular inner projection that extends radially towards the axis of the cylinder; inserting, in the cylindrical shell, at least a first end wall having a maximum diameter greater than a minimum diameter of the first annular projection; wherein the insertion of the first end wall through the first annular projection is allowed by at least one of the following: a radial notch in the first annular projection, a radial perimeter recess of the first end wall.
